Popular Novelist on Love"
Love is like flower in the deser

Love is like a flower in the desert.
II is like the aloe of Arabia that
blooms but once and dies; it blooms in
in the salt emptiness Of life, and the
brightness of its beauty is set upon the
waste as a star set upon the storm.
1t hath the sun above it that is the
spirit, and about it blows the air of its
own divinity.
At the echoing of step Love blooms,
| say; / say Love blooms and bends her
beauty down to him who passeth by.
He plucketh it, yea, he plucketh the
red cup that is full of honey and bear
eth il away-away across the desert
away till the flower be withered-away
till the desert be done.
There is only one perfect flower in
the wilderness of life. That flower is
Love.
There is only one fixed star in the
midst of our wandering. That star is
Love.
There is only one hope in our de-
spairing night. That hope is Love.
All else is false. All else is shadow
moving upon water. All else is wind
and vanity.
Who shall say what is the weight or
the measure of Love? 1t is born of the
flesh, it dwelleth in the spirit. From
each does it draw its comfort.
For beauty it is rs a star.
Many are its shapes but all are beau
tiful; and none know where the star
rose. or the horizon where it shall set.

A brave, active, intelligent terrier,
belonging to a lady friend, one day
discovered a monkey belonging to an
itinersnt organ-grinder seated upon q
bank within the grounds. and at once
made dash for him. The monkey,
who was attired in jacket and hat,
awaited the onset in such undisfurbed
tranquility that the dog halted within a
few feet of him to him to reconnoitre.
Both animals took long, steady
stare at each other, but the dog evident
" was recovering from his surprise,
and was about to make a spring for the
intruder. At this critical juncture the
monkey. who had remained perfectly
quiet hitherto, raised his paw and grace
fully saluted by lifting his hat.
The effect was magical. The dogs
head and tail dropped, and he sneaked
off to the house, refusing to leave it uH-
til his polite but mysterious guest had
departed.

BUFFALO BILL ABROAD.

The success of sour OWN Buffalo Rill--
w. +. Cody-in England is very gratifying
70 thousands of admirers on this side
There was more truth than many imagined
in his reply to the inquiry:

"Chlefiy playing poker with Duchesses. .
The English nobility quickly s'cottoned
to- Buffalo Bill because they recognized
that he belonged to q higher order than their
own-Nature's nobility. Despite his wild
life he early managed to acquire an educa-
ton and the polish which makes him easy
even in royal society
His polish is the bitter fruit, it is said. of a
young love experience. When young man
on the plains, wild, woolly and unkempt in
appearance and character, he fell in love
with dashing little school teacher. Full
Of pluck and faith in himself, he proposed
20 her. She laughed at him and he-col-
lapsed.
After a time he braced up, bought some
books, and began TO study.
His defeat proved his victory The girl
was his mascot, and his successes are due to
her.

Two other members of the Wild West
show, Nave Beardsley, pony express rider,
and Jim Mitchell, cowboy, add to this
statement of Shoemal1ers, that in their long
experience on the plains, from change OF
water, climate, and mode of life, and severe
riding, they became subject to liver and
kidney diseases, and they have found sure
remedy for these troubles in Warmers safe
cure. Nave Beardsley says: II constantly
recommend it to my friends"
Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage and
hard sense, and not only controls all the
wild elements that make up the Wild West
show, but controls himself
His experience as ascout makes him wary,
discreet and shrewd. He quickly learns
the best way TO secure results, and, like a
true man, has no prejudices against any
thing that proves its merits.
Buffalo Bill Is so popular in England he
may come home s'Sir Williamn But if
not he will probably enjoy himself quite as
well, having secured a fortune ample
enough for all his wants, title or no title.

large hazel ewes and dazzling teeth.
She wears her hair combed high off her
forehead in the style known as that of

she wears a coat and waistcoat of the
most ultra tailor-made style, with a
touchdown linen collar held together
with loosely tied silk tie. Her watch
chain is made of Egyptian scarabs, and
runs through a button-hole from
waist-coat pocket to waist-eoat
pocket. On her shapely hands she
wears a number of curious and valuable
rings. In the winter Mrs. Thurber
lives in New York, In the summer she
rusticates in the Catskills. in a very
primitive style of mountain cottage,
which she calls ''Lotos Land Her

made to represent birch bark, and the

think she had torn it OFF of the nearest

HOW TO SAVE MANURE.
Work Which None but SIOvenly Farm or
VIII Ne gIect.

Work Which None but SiOvenly Farmer
win Ne gIect.
The saving of manure upon the farm
is one of the most important consider
ations for all farmers. That there is
great value in liquid manure, and its
saving of much consequence TO the
farmer. because of tn, additional
trouble and expense attending it, it is
hardly advisable to recommend such
course until the solid manure of the
farm is attended to-
Farmers rs a rule are too neglig ent
in their efforts to save the manures
made upon the farm. or those SUBJ
stances which by proper composing
possess manurial value.
Perhaps the use of improved imple-
ments and machinery upon the farm,
together with the use of commercial
fertilizers. has been the means of in-
ducing 4 state of less activity on the
part of farmers, n condition leading to
n state of partial Incidence.
This ought not TO be so, and Of all
things ought not TO lead to any
neglect of care for farm manure.
It may be a pleasant and speedy
mode of applying fertility. to use
commercial article. but its continued
practice to the neglect Of using orlin-
airy stable manure will produce its re-
suits that are disastrous to the best in
terests Of the farm. The manure from
the horse and COW stable should be &C.
cumulated in pile unless it can &C.
casionally be carted to the field where
wanted for use, or unless it can be
thrown where it can be worked over
by hogs in connection with sods and
other material In this way very
valuable manure for all purposes may
be made The droppings from the hen
roost and the contents of the privy
vault should not be neglected because
of unpleasant doors Rather use earth
or some other efficient deOdorizer and
save the valuable fertility. than let il
go 20 waste rs is too frequently the
case. Finally. save every thing that
has manurial value and compost it Sc

Good health, good morals, good sense and

good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages of

Lacking either it will be in more or less
